Thought I misheard that
Guazere seems sound though, like how that exchange didnt bother him and that he chats to players. The contrast with Lacey couldn't be more stark and it's a much better approach IMO.
Sexton comes across as really whiny and moany on the ref link. Twice the ref told him there was a TMO check and he kept whinging. He needs to better at talking or he shouldn't be captain. A ref like Jonathan Kaplan would just penalise him every time he opens his mouth.
Phil Kearns washing moaning about Irish time wasting.
He just said the water carries are saying: "fiddly dee fiddly dee potato potato."
Some nice casual racism there. Personally I couldn't care but it is disappointing how making jokes about Irish people is okay but he'd never dream of poking fun at the Aboriginal people. Or Jews. Or black people.
Flip! Brilliant maul defence from Jack McGrath after Australia turned down the three points and then our maul defence was excellent when they had the second lineout. Briliant defence in general after that too, especially from Dev at one stage and we looked comfortable. Real pity we undid it all, all goes back to Murray being offside, should have known better.

He made sure of it which shows his primary aim was to take out the jumper. What more does he need to do to get a red?
You could argue the other way. It's Australia restarting, kicking to Folau. Ireland put POM up to defend it. No problem with contact in the air. But yellow for Folau pulling on him when he had missed it. Stander didn't do much to protect him though. Just flung him up in the air and that's it
Thoroughly enjoying the Ozzie boos! They have been pretty lucky with their deliberate knock ons thought the series (plus Folau targeting the man rather than the ball in the air to make up for being out thought in the last test).
